I'm on hormone therapy and my sense of smell drastically improved. That means that a lot of things are new to me and immediately pop into my conscious mind instead of getting filed up in the back of my mind. Probably look like your dogs at times. Often I would go sniffing around the home or the office and find things such as forgotten food scraps, electronics heating up, etc. The most useful so far has been pinpointing mold issues. I've noticed how some people smell drastically different and often wonder about their health and diet.

Pregnancy seems to alter the sense too. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3915141/#!po=0.458716 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3915141/#!po=0....

Oh my god, this happened to me too. I smell my old monitor now and it's pretty bad. I once liked the "smell" of old electronics powered up but now it's unbearable. My 60s vintage Zenith radio is one of the worst offenders.
